04/30/2026

                               The 11th annual “All-In 4 Change” program kicks off May 1, offering 15 grants to regional community partners

FUNNER, Calif. (April 30, 2026) – Today, Harrah’s Resort Southern California announced the return of its beloved charitable program, “All-In 4 Change,” which is celebrating its 11th year of community giving. Building on the momentum of its milestone first decade, the resort is proud to share that the program will again award $250,000 in grants to deserving Southern California nonprofits. Adding to the excitement, San Diego’s own Mario Lopez will emcee the awards ceremony on Aug. 15. The application window officially opens this Friday, May 1, 2026.

Since the inaugural “All-In 4 Change” in 2015, the resort has been honored to share its success with the community and support organizations making a positive impact in the region. What began as a local initiative has grown into a major regional event, providing vital financial resources to help Southern California nonprofits thrive and expand their impact.

“Now in its 11th year, ‘All-In 4 Change’ continues to be a cornerstone of our commitment to Southern California,” stated Rincon Chairman Steve Stallings. “Every year, the list of participating charitable organizations grows, and it is a privilege to support the crucial work they do throughout our local communities.”

Since opening in 2002, Harrah’s Resort Southern California has shared its financial success by donating a portion of its profits to the local community and charitable organizations. To date, the All-In 4 Change program has donated more than $1.3 million in cash and in-kind gifts to community partners and charitable organizations as a part of its ongoing commitment to giving back.

“Each year, seeing the excitement of these organizations at our unveiling event is a deeply moving experience,” said Jill Barrett, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s Resort Southern California. “As we begin our 11th year, it’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come—growing from 33 applicants in our first year to over 200 last year. We are proud to maintain this tradition of support, welcoming back returning partners while inviting new organizations to join us in making a difference.”

Non-profits from San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties are invited to apply for the program beginning May 1 through May 29. Applications will be carefully reviewed by the judging committee, and on June 9, eligible applicants will be informed that they made it to the next stage. Community members are encouraged to vote for their favorite nonprofits among the group of finalists from June 15 to June 29, and when the polls close, votes will be tabulated to count for 50 percent of the overall score. The remaining 50 percent of the score will be determined by a carefully selected committee at Harrah’s Resort Southern California. Winners will be notified on July 6 and publicly announced at the “All-In 4 Change” luncheon on August 15, with the grant allocations and awards as follows:

●         1st Place Grant: $100,000
